Hey thank you... That's just the sort of tip that really helps

Here is a good photo for wicking both Prime and nKFL. The build areas are identical right down to size. Some have had a finicky go of getting the wicking just right but I don't think you'll have any problems. Not my photo...

That photo has too much wick in it. It is too long. The shoulders shouldn't be up that high.

The important thing to take away is the open area under each side of the wick by the coil or wick shoulders. Keeping the cotton off the center (positive) block will prevent any juice from going down into the air flow. Also if you trim your cotton down to the first o-ring (and not above) but not beyond then your cotton will perfectly touch the bottoms of the juice wells.

I trim about 40% bulk off my cotton wick. You don't want a bunch of wick in the juice wells. I trim my wick from both sides of one end right up to the coil and repeat on the opposite side. Then place into the juice wells making sure the cotton is touching the bottom of the well. Works perfectly for me every time. If you use rayon you want to trim closer to 50% off your wick.

Let me know if you need anything when you get them and I'll be happy to help. There is also a thread for the authentic Prime that has massive amounts of info on wicking. I'll dig that up for you.

Man good morning shiny folks. Made it through the night. Sigh. Awakening.

They would not fill my valium so I am making it through today on like, clonidine, klonipin and nerve. I feel pretty ill I must say. I was not intending to switch over all at once.

I guess I could get it at lunchtime before the meeting .IDK. I mean I feel so awful now I'm not sure if I just should not..... keep going. Guess. I will see. Sigh.

Slow moving cockroach across the floor it's dying. I hate to see them dying. I don't even crush them.

If today is at all okay though, I'm asking our landlord do full on Hazard pest control. This is ridiculous.

I tried them when they first came out, they leaked all over me so I swore never to go near such cr*p again......and, ahem, here we are

Charlie, you will be fine.

building RTA's ---> flooding = not enough cotton | dry hits = too much cotton

I'm tempted by Boba's Bounty being 22% off. Does that count?

That's one of the largest I've seen.. I think they went crazy once and offered 25% off when they only had Boba's Wannabe.

I always forget with FT. Is it 5 days or 7 days that means 1 to 2 months?

I believe 7 days might be the number of days they work in a week. It really has no bearing on delivery time because at some point we take over. I think it takes us 1 or 2 months to find it.

Taking you off diazepam like that is not the proper way to do it. Cold turkey can cause problems. Your doctor should have known that (apparently not). My wife was tapered down slowly before she was switched to different muscle relaxer entirely. Look it up, there is much info out there on tapering diazepam use. If you have any left I would start halving your dose.

Morning all! I really slept in today. I can’t remember the last time I woke up at 8.

Yessssssss

My squonker arrived. Will set it up later once I've had coffee since I need to switch the pin on my Creek RDA. Never saw myself owning a squonker but I love the panel colours!

If its anything like my 80w, it will be a great mod for many years.

Charie, you will be fine.

Yes i'm aware but IMO there should be a large margin for error. Eg. if the wicking has to be so perfectly the right quantity that everyone usually gets it wrong I will go off them again

Hopefully my choices seem to be non problematic wickers....but we'll see

 

[jim_87]

The creek pressure is gradually wearing me down, and ......and down

You would be one order closer to having vape shiny to open every day.

 

[jim_87]

What day is it?

Happy (pumpday) humpday, people.

FRIDAY! For me at least.

 

[jim_87]

You ain't kidding man. Boy, do I need it this morning . lol

I have some Bailey's Irish Cream, i'll throw it your way, catch.

Yessssssss

They'll do 30% on Black Friday, which is when I last got some. I put the squeeze on my last bit a couple of days ago .

So, it's time to re-up .

Morning all! I really slept in today. I can’t remember the last time I woke up at 8.

I got up early today, 6:30AM, and thought I was entirely in another time zone.
Until my gonzo coffee brought everything to near razor sharp focus.

Thanks Jim. I had some minor issues to start with since this is really new to me. But I'm loving it now. Plus I have jam sponge pudding quite literally on tap.

A solid mod, and a great rda, should be an enjoyable day for you.

That's really helpful....and despite my list i am a DL to restricted DL. I recently found out that I really like the likes of the Venna wide open so i'm hoping that anything I bought will be no tighter than that....

I definitely like the look of this one and if my first 6 go well I may look at a purchase....the thing is my background with RDA's is not good....I tried them when they first came out, they leaked all over me so I swore never to go near such cr*p again......and, ahem, here we are

As long as it’s sufficiently wicked but not packed into the juice wells. Nice & fluffy & just sitting in the juice wells. You’ll be fine with the Aromamizer Lite RTA. I do the burp after filling just in case though, just habit with rta’s without juice control.
